  • the flow rate of the fuel flowing from the centrifugal pump 2 into the inlet flow channel R 1 is smaller than the flow rate of fuel measured by the measuring valve 7 , and the differential pressure valve 8 a is in a state of connecting the third differential pressure detection flow channel R 7 to the upstream of the measuring valve 7 .
  • the pre-measurement pressure increases when the supply flow rate of the fuel supplied from the centrifugal pump 2 increases higher than the flow rate of fuel measured by the measuring valve 7 , the pre-measurement pressure increases.

  • the supply flow rate of the fuel supplied from the centrifugal pump 2 can be controlled. Therefore, after the start of the centrifugal pump 2 , the change in the pre-measurement pressure becomes slow by preventing a rapid increase in the pre-measurement pressure, it is possible to prevent the differential pressure from occurring between the pre-measurement pressure and the post-measurement pressure. As a result, it is possible to prevent the pulsation from occurring in the measurement flow rate of the measuring valve 7 .

As a result, the flow rate control valve 5 has a sufficiently slow valve opening speed with respect to the differential pressure valve 8 a, and the change in the pre-measurement pressure can be made sufficiently slow.
  • the flow rate control valve 5 starts to open after the centrifugal pump 2 is driven. As a result, the flow rate control valve 5 is opened in a state in which the flow channel from the centrifugal pump 2 to the flow rate control valve 5 is filled with the fuel, and thus, it is possible to prevent bubbles from being mixed into the inlet flow channel R 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a fuel supply system 10 according to a modification example of the embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • the flow rate control valve 5 may be provided in the bypass flow channel R 3 . In this case also, by making the change in the flow rate of the fuel in the bypass flow channel R 3 slow, it is possible to prevent a rapid change in the pre-measurement pressure.
  • valve opening speed of the flow rate control valve 5 may be in the range of approximately 1 ⁇ 5 to 1/10 of the valve opening speed of the differential pressure valve 8 a. That is, in FIG. 2 , if the valve opening time during which the differential pressure valve 8 a changes from the closed state to an opened state is assumed to be a, and the valve opening time during which the flow rate control valve 5 changes from the closed state to the opened state is assumed to be b, b may be in the range of approximately 5 a to approximately 10 a.
  • valve opening speed of the flow rate control valve 5 When the valve opening speed of the flow rate control valve 5 is slowed down to equal to or more than 1/10, since the time it takes to switch from the fixed displacement pump 4 to the centrifugal pump 2 becomes long in the fuel supply system 1 , it may impair the responsiveness of the entire system. However, in the fuel supply system 1 , if a quick response is not required when switching the pump, the valve opening speed can be slower than 1/10.
  • the fuel supply system that supplies the liquid or the incompressible fluid fuel to the jet engine is described, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
  • the fluid supply system includes the centrifugal pump 2 and the fixed displacement pump 4 and drives each pump by switching each pump, the type and usage of the fluid are not limited.
  • the driving method of the flow rate control valve 5 is not particularly limited, and it can be driven by various methods such as electric type and hydraulic type.
  • the fluid supply system in the present disclosure in the upstream of the measuring valve, since the change in the flow rate of the fuel at the time of switching between the starting pump and the centrifugal pump becomes slow, it is possible to suppress the rapid change in the pressure of the fuel.
